Calculate the minimum uncertainty in the position of a golf ball (45.93 grams). Velocity of the golf ball = 83.0 m/sans: 1.38 x 10^(-35) mI know I need to find the uncertainty in momentum first, but how?thx

I know the mathematical statement of it, but i just don't know how to find the uncertainty in momentum from those 2 numbers
